AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS FOR THE FLOWER SECTOR

We offer numerous solutions for optimising your sales process and logistics flow.

Integration of RFID technology

CC-Authentication

By using the Scan Buddy, one of our mobile RFID scanners, you quickly identify false tags on stacks of CC supports.

Management of locking plates

RFID enables to efficiently manage the locking plates of your trolleys. Every locking plate is equipped with a barcode and a UHF tag, which is – upon distribution – linked to a customer. Upon return they are removed and the locking plate can then be assigned to another person.

Automatic control of the sales order

An RFID antenna enables you to identify the passage of a flower trolley – equipped with an RFID tag – before it is passing the auction clock. In this way, the sales order is automatically controlled.

Tracking & tracing

Through strategic RFID read points, you obtain an insight into the logistic flow of your trolleys, allowing process optimisation.
